After learning the whole story, Lu Zhi shed silent tears.
Only at this moment did she truly understand how sophisticated Ying Yuan's methods and schemes were.
"Queen Mother, we have been defeated, and completely defeated."
Lao Ai slowly closed his eyes, feeling weak all over.
He could imagine his future ending, which would definitely not be very good.
The emperor of the Qin Dynasty could even plot to murder his own brother.
What else can’t be done?
Lü Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Order our men to eliminate Gao Lishi and Jing Ke at all costs!"
As for Ying Yuan, she definitely couldn't kill him.
However, the two people who indirectly caused Ying Chengjiao's death must be killed.
She did this just to let her child rest in peace.
"Empress Dowager..."
Lao Ai slowly opened his eyes, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lü Zhi frowned and asked, "What? Now you can't even do such a small thing?"
Lao Ai truthfully replied, "The moment the news of Prince Chang'an's death reached Xianyang, our men were all killed by those from the East Depot."
Over the years, he has maintained a number of retainers and formed his own organization.
He specifically did some shameful things for Lu Zhi.
"Is the East Factory's speed really that fast?"
Lu Zhi was shocked.
Lao Ai analyzed: "The death of King Chang'an was caused by Ying Yuan's arrangement. There is no doubt about it.
After his death, we lost the support of the army, so Ying Yuan could deal with us without any worries.
Queen Mother, the most urgent matter is that we sever our ties with Prince Chang'an. Otherwise, if Ying Yuan takes this opportunity to purge the court, I'm afraid you will be affected as well."
Lü Zhi chuckled and said, "My son is already dead. Why should I still be obsessed with power and that position? Let him go."
"Empress Dowager!"
Lao Ai immediately held her in his arms, kissed her forehead, and said lovingly:
"I am also very sad about Jiao'er's death, but don't you want to avenge Jiao'er? You should know that the person who killed him is still sitting in that position and calling the shots."
These words seemed to have awakened Lü Zhi. At this moment, she was like a little girl, nestling in Lao Ai's arms and asking:
"So, what should we do next?"
Lao Ai said sternly, "First, disassociate yourself from the Prince of Chang'an's rebellion. You must personally go to Ying Yuan and tell him that you have nothing to do with it and that you are deeply saddened by the Prince of Chang'an's actions. It would be best if all the civil and military officials heard your voice."
Secondly, since your only child is gone, I want to... let you carry my child in your belly..."
now.
Outside the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Suddenly there was a bolt from the blue.
......
Half an hour later.
Outside the emperor's bedroom.
All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground.
At this time, Ying Yuan had already woken up.
Daji sat on the edge of the bed and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, you can't work so hard for state affairs anymore. You need to take good care of your body."
Ying Yuan had fainted twice, which really made her worried.
He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable."
Hearing the voice, Daji was confused.
Feeling unwell?
Shouldn't Your Majesty be happy that Ying Chengjiao has been eliminated?
Wait... I get it!
Ying Chengjiao, on the surface, is your Majesty's younger brother.
If Your Majesty appears too happy, you will definitely be criticized by the world.
And your Majesty's fainting and current loss must be an attempt to put on a grand show of losing his beloved brother in front of others.
In this way, when people talk about Ying Chengjiao's rebellion, they will praise Your Majesty for his emphasis on brotherhood and kindness.
In this way, all the claims that Ying Chengjiao had made in various ways to destroy Your Majesty's reputation would be self-defeating.
Your Majesty is truly thoughtful.
Daji thought she had guessed Ying Yuan's thoughts, and she began to feel depressed.
"Your Majesty, the dead cannot be resurrected. Prince Chang'an has passed away. Please do not dwell on your sorrow.
State affairs are very busy right now, and the whole country needs you in many places. Please take good care of yourself."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan felt a little better.
It seems that in the end, only Daji understands herself best.
When Daji saw the subtle change in Ying Yuan's expression, she felt that her guess was correct.
Your Majesty is indeed in grief because of that reason.
"Your Majesty, all the civil and military officials are still kneeling outside the palace."
Daji said softly.
Ying Yuan exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "Let them go back. I don't want to see anyone right now."
Just then.
A voice sounded outside the hall:
"Your Highness and I pay our respects to the Queen Mother."
It was Lu Zhi herself who came.
Daji frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Queen Mother is here because of Ying Chengjiao."
She now admires Ying Yuan so much that she can be said to be completely overwhelmed.
All along, in her heart, Ying Chengjiao was not even half as good as Ying Yuan.
But after all, the former has developed considerable power.
It's still a bit troublesome to deal with him.
But what about Your Majesty?
In silence, it will be eliminated.
With this ability, even ten Ying Chengjiaos can't compare to him, right?
It turned out to be the man she liked.
Outside the palace.
With her cheeks slightly red, Lü Zhi glanced at the ministers, flicked her sleeves lightly, and said indifferently:
"Everyone, please stand up. I heard that the Emperor fainted during the morning court today after learning about the Prince of Chang'an. I came to see him."
